Amazon s3 how do i use it as a cdn service
-
Hi i have signed up to s3 amazon and have uploaded my images to my bucket but the trouble i am having is, how do i have the images on my site. i have tried to use the url that it is showing but all that is doing is https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/in2town/audreyrobertslarge.jpg not bringing up the image on my site and when i have done it through the internet search box it does not bring up an image.
I have been told this is a great cdn service and a cost effective one but i really need to learn how to use it.
has anyone used this service and if so can you please let me know what i need to do
I have now managed to get a bit futher with the help of stuart Bell but the images are still not showing on my site. any help would be great.
many regards

I am reading this and tried it but i must be missing something
If your object is in a folder within your bucket, then the folder must also be included in the URL. For example, if image.jpg was located in your bucket's Images folder, then the URL would be: http://d604721fxaaqy9.cloudfront.net/images/image.jpg.
i have my domain name d22wnjaygrh83y.cloudfront.net
and then my image is jenniferanistonlarge.jpg
so i put it together like it says which is d22wnjaygrh83y.cloudfront.net/jenniferanistonlarge.jpg but nothing comes up
if i double click on an image that i was looking at only a few minutes ago in my bucket, i get this
<error>
AccessDenied<message>Access Denied</message><requestid>311AC6250EC638CC</requestid><hostid>J0dwp7GCiRcxFd1nrQg6fXnCQxt8/6PgrlGEgXpeBaBFXDm7I8f3bYwd6D0Ciifu</hostid></error>not sure why because i have loaded the image to my bucket and i doubled clicked it a few minutes ago and it shown it but now brings the above message up.

Yep they need to implement the 1click system to the technical offerings not just books

just been reading the info, it is a great help. i have to say that amazon in my opinion need to make things a bit more clearer.

Hi Diane
S3 is the storage, Cloudfront is the CDN service. Here is a link to the Cloudfront guide.
Thanks
Stuart

Using WebP Image Alongside Existing Images
Is it worthwhile to add in WebP images alongside existing images? WebP Images can be three times smaller than PNGs and 25% smaller than JPGs, according to a plugin option I am looking at. The alternative WebP images are provided via CDN. Does anyone have any experience with this, and is it worth doing?

When rel canonical tag used, which page does Google considers for ranking and indexing? A/B test scenario!
Hi Moz community, We have redesigned our website and launched for A/B testing using canonical tags from old website to new website pages, so there will be no duplicate content issues and new website will be shown to the half of the website visitors successfully to calculate the metrics. However I wonder how actually Google considers it? Which pages Google will crawl and index to consider for ranking? Please share your views on this for better optimisation. Thanks

Using Button Links vs Sidebar Menu
I have a services page with a lot of rich text and a slideshow of images. Currently, I am using a column of buttons to various services, and am wondering if a sidebar menu would be more effective for Google to crawl and rank?

What do you use for test rendering your dev site?
I'm redesigning our company ecommerce site and need to test render an infinite scroller to ensure that it is as SEO friendly as possible. My problem is that I cannot view it in Webmaster Tools since I am blocking the site from crawlers using robots.txt. I know I could simply unblock Google temporarily but I really would rather not make my dev site available to search engine crawlers.

Any alternative techniques to display tabbed content without using Javascript / JSON and be SEO Friendly?
John Mueller's input in the EGWMH hangout suggests that Google MAY ignore expandable content served by Javascript. Are there any alternative techniques to display tabbed content without using Javascript / JSON and be SEO Friendly? I do however view these as good for website interactivity and UX - and see many examples of websites performing well and ranking highly whilst using these techniques - are there any Google friendly ways to serve content on a page so that search bots can recognise and choose to crawl / consume the content as legitimate fodder?

How can i embed my video into a table using SEO embed setting?
We use Wistia.com to embed our videos. They have different options for embed settings and we prefer to use the SEO embed setting, however, when we use that setting we aren't able to insert the video in a table side by side with another image or text. When we try, the video jumps out of the table and the table gets (for lack of a better work) out of wack. When we embed the video with the iframe embed setting, the video can be placed in a table with no issues, but then we don't get the SEO credit. We have our site in wordpress. I'm not sure if that has something to do with the tables getting messed up. Check out this link to see an example of how we want the video to show up. http://www.3000doorhangers.com/ Any suggestions as to how we can use the SEO embed setting within a table as shown in the above link?

Are HTML sitemaps still in use today?
I'm trying to help a client understand the importance of having a well-organized HTML site map as a method of helping usability. As part of this process, I spent some time searching for good examples of well-organized HTML site maps, and found that many sites don't offer one (including SEOmoz). I'm wondering if webmasters and/or SEOers think they aren't valuable any longer?
